I have a great collection of vintage parts that i have had for quit a while… Going to use these to create some e11 blasters . The original parts are becoming more exspensive and harder to find soooooooo im going to create a complete kit from aluminum.

Sterling mkIV magazine ready to be cut down for the E11 Blaster

Started digging boxes of old parts ive had for many years.. Time to put them to use for the empire!

The sterling rear butt cap,,, this is going to be great when i get this reproduced. This part seems to give alot of E11 builders grief. Ill make an aluminum one they can build on
Everyone loves seeing all the Sterling parts,,, heres some pictures of the disassembled kits im preparing for e11 rebuilds..
Started making replica parts about two week ago,,, the stock was my first objective.

Started machining the lower stock support, it turned out perfect
Made a few , lol

e11 blaster body tubes, machined to scale and ready for all the other parts. (as soon as i make them) SPECIAL NOTE! THE AIR VERSION IS NOT EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL , i quickly abandoned using it as a reference!!!!!
Lathe freed up today so i began the front cap.
Completed front barrel guide, machined and ready

Sterling E11 front barrel mount. Looks great and will enable me to mount the front sight and the internal barrel
Up NEXT! the rear back cap latch……………………………………………….. Making 200 of these , 100 for my builds and 100 for anyone else that want components separately………..
While the latch is finishing on the mill I’m going the start turning the rear spring cap

Sterling L2A3 rear cap , first op does not reveal much. A lot of operations to complete this part..
Operation 2 is taking shape on the rear sterling SMG rear cap. Two more operation to go , next it get a few cuts in the 4th axis mill then back to the vertical (vmc) Haas mill
I have discovered no less than 6 variations in the back caps shapes, im combining the essence of all.
A damn hard thing to discover. Got one more operation on the 4th axis mill to put the flat on the sides.
